URGES PARENTS IB WARN CHILDREN STRRET8 ARE NOW FILLED WITH SCHOOL CHILDREN AND ACCI DENT* ARE NUMEROUS. DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH Doings and Happenings That Mark tha Prograsa of North Carolina Poo pi*. Gatharod Around tha Stats Capital. Raleigh. James K. Younc, commissioner of inaurance. has Just given out a very timely statement In which be urges tha citizens of North Carolina to warn the school children of the dangers of i-roaalng and playing In the streets The statement follows: During the vacation months while tha streets have been more or less free from chlldrea en masse there haa been a notable and gratifying de i reaae In the number of acrldenta to children. But now that the schools ar? open again, and the streets at certain hours are thronged with chil dren of an age at which they ara leaat cautions of danger, drivers of vehicles and parents of children should take every precaution to pre vent the numerous and needless acci dents that usually follow the opening of the school term. Do not expect the child to take care of himself. Re sponsibility is all right, but the child, by nhture unmindful o( danger, is especially oblivious of surroundings while Renewing companionships lnter ceptaahy vacation and recounting hla experiences of the summer. *iibwry kuuuuub in eviurace inn automobllists are capable of Inflicting abundant damage and Injury among tbeir kind without attacking the un suapicting child, who may always be counted on to do the unexpected thing at the wrong time. If you drlre a car, take so chance* on the child'* seeing you in time to avoid your car; give htm plenty of time to croaa your path. His antics may at times be provoking. but If struck by an auto mobile the chancea are against his living to outgrow them Parents, do not trust too Implicitly the judgment of your child on con gested streets, especially the child who Is starting to school for the flnst time. Better accompany him to and from school for the ft rut week or more, and endeavor to teach blm by lecture add example the primary lea sons of "Safety First" and self-preser vation. Teachers, do not presume too much on the child's knowledge and train ing; do not hesitate tu Instruct him In the simple but Important art of. looking out for himself.

HARVARD MEN IN I HAIL OF BOMBS Show Rare Pluck When Hospital Is Attacked by German Airmen. 4 KILLED AND 32 WOUNDED . ^ Major Murphy, Red Cross Commission er, Cables Full Details of Disas ter to If*.

Washington.?The manner In which the Harvard unlt'a base hospital In France was attacked by a German air plane. with the rexult that several Americans were killed and wounded, was dewrlhed in detail In a long cable inesaaK*' received here by Henry Pf i ??>. Smith and Rea W. Whldden. O. R. C., U. 8. A.; six privates, a woman nurse and 22 patients from the British lines who were under treatment there for wounds. Attack Occurred at Night. 'The airplane attack occurred at 11 | o'clock at night. Just at that time fortunately no convoy of wounded was being received or the list of casualties | would have been far greater, as one of the bombs fell Into the center of the large reception tent to which the ! wounded sre first borne for exam!- ! nation. Ten seconds suffered for the dropping of the bomb from the first* flying plane, aud within less than a minute afterward the surgeons of the hospital Mere at the task of collecting and attending those who had been struck down. And for 24 hours they were at work In the operating room. 1 one surgeon relieving another when the latter, from simple exhaustion, could work no longer. The very next day. just as If nothing had happened, these same snrgeons were called upon to receive and cmre for 200 wounded sent In from the trenches of the Brit ish expeditionary force. "The hospital, which is on the 1 French coast, has ],80o beds, and is nnder canvas In a quadrangle flOO feet square. It Is In a district In which there are many similar Institutions, and Is unmistakable as a hospital. At the time the German aviator flew over It most of the surgical staff was en gaged In making rounds of the wards. Lieutenant Fitaslmons, however, was standing at the door of his tent. There4 had been a brief warning of the pres ence of a bombing airplane In the neighborhood, because a quarter of a minute before the sound of exploding bombs was heard from a point perhaps 200 yards from the hospital. This warning sufficed to cause all lights In the tents to be extinguished immedi ately, and those who had been under fire before threw themselves face down Upon the ground. "Then came five explosions In rapid succession In the hospital Itself. The first two were directly In front of Lieu tenant Pltzslmons' tent. He probably never knew what happened to him, as his body wan torn to *hreds. The next two fell a hundred feet beyond, in a wan! In which there were many pa tients. and the last struck the recep tion tent. Overhead there was no sound. The <>ermau aviator flew too hlKh to be heard, but he left his iden tity behind him. not only In the bombs he dropped, but In the derisive handful of pfennings he scattered upon the hos pital as be whirled away. A number of these were found when light came. Hit by Bomb Fragments. "Lieutenant McOuIre, who was In a tent adjoining that of KJeutenant Fitzslmons. was struck by three t>omh fragments, but was not seriously wounded. Ills escape was narrow, as there were more than a hundred hole* cut In his tent. Lieutenant Smith was struck in the knee and Lieutenant Whidden In the chest while in their tents In the office section of the quad rangle. The private soldiers Injured were on duty as orderlies in the recep tion tent, and the bomb fell almoxt upon them. So severely was Private Aubrey S. McLeod Injured that it was necessary to ampuflne both his leg*. "Although the explosion of the bombs caused horror In tin- hospital, there ?im iw*( the wu?ll?it sign of , panic. and the work of discovering th? woanded and collecting them wan 1m mediately begun.

WAR BRINGS BIG < TRADE CHANGES Resources of United States Searched as Never Before to Meet New Demands. RIVER TRAFFIC IS INCRFASEO Upper Reaches of the Mississippi Help Relieve the Congestion on the Railroads?Strontium Ore in Demand. New York.?One of the most Inter esting and important development!* In the United State* at the present time is the manner in which commerce ant! industry are gradually adjusting und tensing themselves under the full load of the war strain; curtailing activities here, speeding up there, and reaching out at some poiuts. under the pressure of new needs, to create entire nefr in dustries. In industry the resources of the United States are being searched as never before to meet the new de mands, aud mineral wealth which has always been there against the time of need, but never before called upon. Is being developed, while in commerce new processes, new economies and new efficiency, involving no new dis coveries, but latent possibilities In time of peace, are being permanently add ed to the wealth of the uatlon under the pressure of unprecedented de mand. The whole process Is too vast and varied to be seen clearly at one time, bat there are seveml means by which occasional glimpses can be gained. One of these is by the reports of the department of the Interior on the min eral resources of the United States, which continually describe the devel-1 opment of new mining activities In i metals and chemicals, whose deposits have been known for yenrs. hot whose |HH?slbllltles had not been fully recog nised. Another Is in the pages of the, various technl<*al journals. Irt which, I eve#Jr week, there Is at least one story o( a' new commercial or Industrial Idea which has been added to the national machinery. On the Mississippi. In new traffic channels It Is Iron Age which reports that fer the flrst time -^)nly a short while ago. moreover? the upper Mississippi has been opened to ore and coal traffic oo a big scale. The Mississippi hss been big enough, for years, to carry far more he y, slow traffic than Its upper reaches, as far as St. Paul, the head of naviga tion, than ever, apparently, anyone | thought of putting upon It. Ore train.** | and, coal trains have moved along its ftanks for years, ittoving the freight ut a cost p?r ton mile far beyond the > demands of the river, hut it took fhe j I war to make people realize the full value of the stream. But now that war has come, and the ! railroad* of the entire country are un i der such a strain as they never before had to bear, people In St. Paul and all ' the river towns as far down as St. Louis have suddenly perceived thut the ; old Mississippi must do her share. And ! quite recently six new steel barges. | carrying 3,000 tons of coal?the lurg i est cargo ever hauled to the head of ! navigation on the river?arrived at St. Paul, the vanguard of a new fleet. The development of an entirely new mining Industry within the United States, under pressure of the waV. Is told in a recent bulletin of the Geolog ical survey, on "Strontium in 1010." For many years large dejmslts of strontium ore, in the form of celestite ciyTOflB (strontium sulphate) and strontianlte (strontium carbonate) have been known to exist, often be side beds-of limestone which were be ing actively quarried. In Michigan and j Ohio along the shores of Luke Erie, I Schoharie county. New York, in West. Virginia and iVxa*. and in California j and Arizona. Strontium salts were ( used in beet-sugar refining, but far ( more in the manufacture of fireworks, j because of the brilliant crimson flame they. gave. Market' for Strontium. Before the war. however, the mar ket for strontium was so limited. Hud being confined, moreover, to the At lantic seaboard, imports of strontium ore from Europe were cheaper than the freight rates from California and I Arizona, the only deposits which had r ever been worked commercially. The war. however, changed ntt Ttilf* 1 In two ways. In the first place. It c reft ted a new and tremendous demand for strontium, magnesium, and bari um. for vast quantities of signal rock* ets, flares, etc.. both at the front and on the sea.* Moreover, here at home the increase in freight traffic on our railroads, due to war demands, neces sitated a considerable Increase In the use of signal Hares here also. The new Industry was getting on its feet In 1010. In 1014 about 2,000 short ; tons of strontium' ore had been con- I sutned by American fireworks manu facturers, the commonest form of the refined product being strontlUlu nitrate at around 10 cents a pound oi*. lens. Of this 2.000 pounds, the proportion of domestic ore was so small as not to be worth reporting. In Witt the consumption of strontium ores had risen nearly a 100 |>er cent; the price had caused the huge strontium depos* its In California and Arizona to be ( opened and worked for the first time j In earnest, and upward of 250 tons of j I strontium on- had slready been j shipped.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT First Note in Big Drive Sounded by Hoover.?Page Has About Per fected Plans for State. Kaleigh.--The first note in a big drive to enlist every American house hold in a definite organisation to win the war by the waving and the sub stitution of foodstuffs was sounded today by Federal Food Administrator Herbert Hoover, who made formal announcement of a food pledge enroll ment campaign which will be conduct ed in every state and territory in the l> Men the week of October 21-28th. Mr. Hoover's .statement follows: "The week of October 21-28 has been selected for a nation-wide cam paign to complete the enrollment of our forces in the conservation of our food stipply. "The harvest is now in hand and we < an measure the world's re sources. The available supulies from this harvest are less than the last har vest; we exported more than we could readily afTord. We can only meet the ? call upon us next year by savings and by substitutions of commodities which cannot be transported. "The Allies are our Drat line of de fense?THEY MUST BE FED. Food will win the war All Europe la on ratloni or rettrioted supplies?only In our own country Is each one permit ted to Judge for himself the duty he owes his country In food consumptioa. although the world depends upon us to guard and prorlde Its food supply. "This Is a duty of necessity, human ity and honor. As a free people ?? hare elected to discharge this doty ? not under autocratic decree but with out other restrictions than the guid ance of Individual conscience. "On this success of this unprece dented adventure in democracy will largely stake the Issue, of ^e war We are asking every householder, every hotel, restaurant and dealer in foodstuffs In the natl>in to become a member of the food administration for conservation and to pledge them selves to follow Insofar as circum stances permit the suggestions that would be offered from time to time as to measures of food savings. "For us. there is no threat of priva tion We wish only that our people Should eat plenty but wisely and with out waste. Wisdom in eating Is to make possible much adjustments in our food consumption, shipping and war necessities as will allow as to fulfill our duty In exports to our Al lies. By elimination of waste we serve ourselves economically and morally. "I. therefore, appeal to the churches and to the schools for their assistance In this crusade, to all the organisa tions for defense, local and national, to all the agencies, commercial, so cial and civic, that they Join the ad ministration In this work for the fun damental safety of the nation." Nearly 2.000.000 housewives have al ready taken the pledge to furnish the food that our Allies and over-seas armies require, and already their ef forts are visibly increasing the avail able supply. The small amounts which each Individual is asked to savs through substitution and avoidance of waste when multiplied by millions be come an" effective total. The whole problem will be solved If the American people will eat less of the foods, which because of their concentrated nutritive value must be sent abroad and more of other food" of which there Is an abundance. The foods that must be saved are wheat, pork, dairy products and sugar. Those thst should be used generously are fish, poultry, vegetables and all ce reals except wheat. Federal Food Administrator.
